Mariko Gray is a “chaotic creative” from Sydney, Australia. She has been writing poetry since high school, gradually developing her style while documenting the challenges and changes of her life. In-touch with her darker side, she often explores the more disturbing aspects of humanity which most try desperately to ignore within themselves. She is best known as DestroyerMariko online, and her multidisciplinary work spans many formats beyond the written word, including video, music, bonsai, and visual arts. Drawn to dualities, her only philosophy is "To create, you must first destroy."
